Connect your card reader (or camera) to computer.
On the Photoj server, open the Photo Drop folder.
Find an appropriate category for the photos (ex: Student Life or Academics).
Make a new folder in this category that follows these conventions:
SPORTS:
[YEAR-MONTH-DATE] [TEAM w/LEVEL] v. [OPPOSING TEAM] [PHOTOGRAPHER]
2010-08-10 v.fball v. trinity josh beal

2010-09-23 ece students playing games josh beal
2010-09-15 kuhn breakdancing at pep rally sally george
Download the photos. You can drag them off your drive or use Image Capture. (DO NOT USE BRIDGE. It is slow.)
Drag the Photo Drop folder you created to the Bridge icon to open them. In Bridge, select all, then go to Tools>Batch Rename and give all photos the name above.
Rank them. Hit Command-5 to give anything worth looking at 5 stars. DO NOT EDIT in Photoshop at this point.
YEARBOOK PHOTOGRAPHERS *NOT* IN PHOTOJ MAY STOP HERE. Do NO photo editing on yearbook photos!
PHOTOJ STUDENTS: CONTINUE ON.
Filter your five star photos and copy them.
In the Finder or in Bridge, go to Web Photos and make a folder with the naming convention above.
Edit in Photoshop. Adjust using Curves, Brightness and Contrast, Hue/Saturation, etc. as needed.
Drag photos to the Photoshop droplet you made. Kapost will not let you publish photos without doing the Photoshop resizing droplet first.
Save your changes over your photos in Submit to RedEye because you have originals in Photo Drop.
Log in to redeye.kapost.com.
On the upper right-hand side, click Create a Post.
Describe your photo gallery with a sentence like this at the top of the post: “Talent show auditions on January 17, 2012 brought out everyone from beat boxers to ballerinas.” Include the date.
Click the Gallery icon.
Under Gallery below the text window, click Add Images. You can select all photos in your folder at once by holding down shift and selecting the first and last photo.
Give each photo the title “CLICK HERE.” (We are using this title because the only time a title will show is on a mouse-over.) Kapost will not let you publish without titles for every photo.
Give each photo a caption. Make sure you identify all people up to five. After five people, you do not have to label anyone. Put their grades after their names in this format: Tim Haag (12). Teachers are as follows: Mr. Jamie Miller (Journalism). Include jersey numbers for sports (in other words, it would be Jared Rondinelli (12, #57).
Name check each name. Click here for a complete student roster (must be logged into Google Docs).
For category, click Gallery.
Re-order the photos to tell the story of the event as necessary. This is done by dragging the photos up or down in Kapost.
Click Submit Post and then you are done. The RedEye photo editor will edit it and (hopefully) approve it. You will receive an email confirming the publication of your gallery.
